Submissions

5. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any submission you make — in other words, you acknowledge that you (and not we) have full responsibility for the submission, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality and copyright.

Release/Indemnity

You agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless McCain, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and such other additional persons to be released and/or indemnified as identified in the terms, conditions and rules which govern specific promotions, contests or other programs on our web sites (collectively referred to herein as the “Releasees”) from all liability in any way relating to or arising in connection with your use of our web sites including injuries, loss or damage of any kind.
